eBay is encouraging people to sell their Nexus 4′s in order to take advantage of the high demand for the product, but it has also placed some restrictions on users planning on selling the highly, coveted handset on their site.

If you’re a new user, you can only list one Nexus 4 phone per week… which might be a disappointment to those of you who bought it in bulk. Top sellers can list eight per week, and the authorized resellers are unaffected by the restrictions.

These restrictions have been placed in order to protect buyers from any potential scam. An eBay expert stated that criminals have been known to hack into high-rated seller accounts in order to scam buyers, which is why eBay has to be extra careful with the onslaught of Nexus 4 listings.

eBay released this announcement today,

Google Nexus 4 Product Post-Launch Sales

You may list a Google Nexus 4 with some limitations:

Authorized resellers will be allowed to list an unlimited number of items per week.

eBay Top Rated Sellers will be allowed to list up to 8 items per week.
